Received: 30 January 2020; Accepted: 14 February 2020; Published: 18 February 2020 Abstract: Arene C(sp2)-H bond borylation reactions provide rapid and efficient routes to synthetically versatile boronic esters. While iridium catalysts are well established for this reaction, the discovery and development of methods using Earth-abundant alternatives is limited to just a few examples. Applying an in situ catalyst activation method using air-stable and easily handed reagents, the iron-catalysed C(sp2)-H borylation reactions of furans and thiophenes under blue light irradiation have been developed. Key reaction intermediates have been prepared and characterised, and suggest two mechanistic pathways are in action involving both C-H metallation and the formation of an iron boryl species. Keywords: catalysis; borylation; Iron; C-H functionalisation; pinacolborane; photochemistry 1. Introduction The development of sustainable methods for the selective C(sp2)-H functionalisation of arenes is an area of intense research but is still dominated by the use of 2nd- and 3rd-row transition metals [1–7]. Earth-abundant metals offer low toxicity and inexpensive alternatives, with iron being a leading example [8–12]. Direct C(sp2)-H borylation offers a simple and efficient route to aryl-boronic esters, which are key platforms for organic synthesis [13–15]. Iridium-based complexes have become a “go-to” for C(sp2)-H borylation reactions [16–24], while the discovery and development of Earth-abundant alternatives remains comparatively rare [25–37]. Tatsumi and Ohki showed that arenes would undergo thermally promoted C(sp2)-H borylation using an N-heterocyclic carbene cyclopentadienyl iron(II) alkyl complex [NHC(Cp*)FeMe] as a catalyst in the presence of tert-butylethylene (Scheme1a) [ 35]. Mankad applied heterobimetallic Fe-Cu and Fe-Zn complexes under continuous ultraviolet light irradiation to arene C(sp2)-H borylation [36]. Similarly, Darcel and co-workers reported the use of a bis(diphosphino) iron(II) dialkyl and dihydride complexes for arene C(sp2)-H borylation, again under continuous ultraviolet light irradiation [37]. While these landmark reports are highly significant developments, all require the prior synthesis of sensitive inorganic complexes which are synthetically challenging and difficult to handle for the non-specialist practitioner, thus limiting use by the broader synthetic community.

Hartwig, Chair Professor Robert G. Bergman Professor Alexis T. Bell Fall 2016 Abstract Frontiers in Iridium-Catalyzed C-H Borylation: Attaining Novel Reactivity and Selectivity By Matthew Alan Larsen Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry University of California, Berkeley Professor John F. Hartwig, Chair The following dissertation discusses the development of novel methodology for the catalytic borylation of C-H bonds and includes in-depth studies on the mechanism and selectivity of these synthetic transformations. These methods include the borylation of heteroaryl C-H bonds, the selective borylation of benzylic C-H bonds, and the directed and undirected borylation of unactivated alkyl C-H bonds. Chapter 1 contains a comprehensive review of C-H borylation methodology. This review focuses on the initial development of catalytic C-H borylation and on the state-of- the-art of methodology for the undirected and directed borylation of aryl, benzylic, and alkyl C-H bonds. Additionally, this review highlights knowledge gaps and unsolved challenges. Furthermore, this review provides the author’s opinion on future directions for research on the borylation of C-H bonds. Chapter 2 describes the study of the iridium-catalyzed borylation of heteroaryl C- H bonds. Contained is an examination of the scope of the borylation of heterocycles containing more than one heteroatom and rules for predicting the site-selectivity of this reaction.

Abstract This work is focused on two areas: the chemistry of organofluorine and organoboron compounds. In the first chapter, a copper-catalysed synthesis of tri- and tetrasubstituted allenylboronic acids is presented. Extension of the same method leads to allenylboronic esters. The very reactive and moisture-sensitive allenylboronic acids are further applied to the reaction with aldehydes, ketones and imines to form homopropargyl alcohols and amines. In addition, an enantioselective reaction catalysed by a BINOL organocatalyst was developed to form tertiary alcohols with adjacent quaternary carbon stereocenters. The second chapter specialises in the functionalisation of 2,2-difluoro enol silyl ethers with electrophilic reagents under mild reaction conditions.

Thus, the regi- oselectivities of reactions that occur with selectivities dictated by steric effects, such as the borylation of C-H bonds, have been poor in many cases. We report that the silylation of five-mem- bered ring heteroarenes occurs with high sterically derived re- gioselectivity when catalyzed by the combination of [Ir(cod)(OMe)]2 and a phenanthroline ligand or a new pyridyl- imidazoline ligand that further increases the regioselectivity. The silylation reactions with these catalysts produce high yields of heteroarylsilanes from functionalization at the most sterically accessible C–H bonds of these rings under conditions that the borylation of C–H bonds with previously reported cat- alysts formed mixtures of products or products that are unsta- ble. The heteroarylsilane products undergo cross-coupling re- actions and substitution reactions with ipso selectivity to gen- erate heteroarenes that bear halogen, aryl and perfluoroalkyl substituents. In contrast, the silylations and borylations of the C–H bonds of arenes catalyzed
